As part of my full house refurbishment, i am replacing all of the rads. Almost all are staying in the same location as existing.
The central heating pipework is 80% within the floor voids with some runs and most sections leading to the rads being surface run. I want all the surface stuff relocated within the floor voids and was originally thinking of having all of the pipework removed and replaced with new so that i know i have a new system installed to give piece of mind over the years.
Does copper deteriorate over years (the existing system is ancient). When i have been removing the rads they are full of crud. If you dont recommend replacing all the pipework can they be thoroughly cleaned. We are not trying to save money by cutting corners, just dont want to spend money if it is not needed. We just want the job done right.
What are the experts recommendations.
